    School Changes Name of Play to 'Three Little Puppies'...

    School Changes Name of Play to 'Three Little Puppies' to Avoid Offending Muslims

    Thursday, March 15, 2007

    Little Red Riding Hood ... Hansel and Gretel ... the Three Little Puppies?

    That's what one British school renamed the traditional Three Little Pigs story for a school play, so as not to offend Muslims in the community, London's Daily Mail reported.

    Organizers of the children's musical theater performance changed the lyrics' character's names in a move some — including Muslims — are saying went too far.

    "The vast majority of Muslims have no problem whatsoever with the Three Little Pigs. It's always been the traditional way of telling the story and I don't see why that should be changed," Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain told the Daily Mail, saying the name change was "bizarre."

    Gill Goodswen, head teacher of Stile Common Junior School, defending the move.

    She said: "We have to be sensitive if we want to be multicultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs."

    I am convinced that it is an illness or a mental condition.

    If I were the Big Bad Wolf I would be angry that I was being steriotyped.
    After all....how many houses have wolves really blown down and yet they are always the bad guy that loses in the end.

    Maybe a more politically acceptable title would be...
    The three fluffy puppies and the laid back wolf...

    They could build houses together for Homes for Humanities and eat soy burgers for lunch......

    I just really cannot stand the stupidity of it all. I get so frustrated and angry. I think I need a break from the news.

    Why not just call them the "Three Little Suicide Bombers"? That seems appropriate to many Muslims.

    Calderon was absolutely right when he said...."Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico".
